8) Install transfer output flange (1) by tapping with
plastic hammer and tighten transfer output flange nut
gradually so as rotational torque of bevel pinion to be
in specified value.
NOTE
• If rotational torque of bevel pinion exceeds
specification given in the following,
replace pinion shaft spacers and tighten
flange nut.
• Before taking measurement of rotational
torque, rotate pinion over ten rounds in
advance.

Bevel pinion bearing preload
: 0.5 – 1.3 N⋅m (0.05 – 0.13 kgf-m, 0.35 – 0.95 lb-ft)

9) Caulk transfer output flange nut (1).
Transfer Assembly InspectionS6RW0D3306010
• Check each bearing for smooth rotation, wear or
discoloration
If found abnormal, replace.
• Check oil seal for leakage and its lip for excessive
hardness
If either is found, replace.
• Check transfer case for cracks.
• Check bevel pinion and bevel gears for wear or
cracks.
Bevel Gear Tooth Contact InspectionS6RW0D3306011
1) After cleaning tooth surface of bevel gear (1), paint
them with gear marking compound evenly by using
brush or sponge etc.
NOTE
When applying red lead paste to teeth, be
sure to paint tooth surfaces uniformly. The
paste must not be too dry or too fluid.

2) Install transfer output retainer assembly referring to
“Transfer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly”.
3) Turn transfer output flange clockwise and
counterclockwise repeatedly, and remove transfer
output retainer assembly and bevel gear shims from
transfer assembly.

4) Bring painted part up and check contact pattern referring to the following chart. If contact pattern is not normal,
readjust or replace as necessary according to instruction in chart.
NOTE
• Be careful not to turn bevel gear more than one full revolution, for it will hinder accurate check.
• If bevel gear back lash and bevel pinion shims are adjusted properly, correct tooth contact should
be provided.
If correct tooth contact is not provided even when they are adjusted properly, however, there may be
an abnormal condition in worn tooth, transfer case or retainer. Check each component and replace
as necessary.

Gear tooth contact table
Tooth contact pattern Diagnosis and remedy
Normal
High contact
Pinion is positioned too far from the center of drive bevel
gear.
• Decrease thickness of bevel pinion shim and position
pinion closer to gear center.
• Adjust drive bevel gear backlash to specification.
Low contact
Pinion is positioned too close to the center of drive bevel
gear.
• Increase thickness of bevel pinion shim and position
pinion farther from gear center.
• Adjust drive bevel gear backlash to specification.
These contact patterns indicate that the “offset” of
reduction driven gear is too much or too little. The
remedy is to change the division of the bevel gear
shim(s).

Tightening Torque SpecificationsS6RW0D3307001
NOTE
The specified tightening torque is also described in the following.
“Transfer Assembly Components”

Reference:
For the tightening torque of fastener not specified in this section, refer to “Fasteners Information in Section 0A”. These contact patterns, located on toe or heel on both
drive and coast sides, mean that 1) both pinion and gear
are defective, 2) retainer is not true, or 3) gear is not
properly seated on transfer case. The remedy is to
replace the defective member.
Irregular patterns: If the pattern is not oval, it means that
bevel gear is defective. High or low spots on tooth
surfaces or on the seat of bevel gear are the cause of
irregular patterns appearing on some teeth. The remedy
is to replace the pinion and gear set and, if the seat is
defective, so is transfer case. Tooth contact pattern Diagnosis and remedy

Precautions
Propeller Shaft CautionS6RW0D3400001
CAUTION!
• All propeller shaft fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance of
vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one
of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
• Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any propeller shaft part. Replace it with a new part, or
damage to the part may result.

General Description
Propeller Shaft ConstructionS6RW0D3401001
Universal joints and ball joint require no maintenance. They are lubricated for life and can not be lubricated on the
vehicle. If a universal joint becomes noisy or worn, it must be replaced.
The propeller shaft is a balanced unit. Handle it carefully so that balance can be maintained.

Repair Instructions
Propeller Shaft Joint CheckS6RW0D3406001
If universal joints and ball joint are suspected of
producing chattering or rattling noise, inspect them for
wear. For universal joint, check to see if cross spider
rattles in yokes are worn down and replace defective
propeller shaft assembly with new one.
Noise coming from universal joint and ball joint can be
easily distinguished from other noises because rhythm
of chattering or rattling is in step with cruising speed.
Noise is pronounced particularly on standing start or in
coasting condition (when braking effect of engine is
showing in the drive line).
Propeller Shaft Assembly Removal and
Installation
S6RW0D3406002
Removal
1) Hoist vehicle.
2) Before removing propeller shaft assembly, give
match marks (2) on joint flange and propeller shaft
as shown.
3) Separate propeller shaft assembly (1) from transfer
output flange and rear differential flange.4) Remove propeller shaft by removing center support
nuts (1).
CAUTION!
Use care not to drop it. Otherwise, vibration
may occur during driving.

Installation
Reverse removal procedure to install propeller shaft,
noting the following point.
• When installing propeller shaft, align the match marks
(2). Otherwise, vibration may occur during driving.
• Use the following specification to torque each bolt and
nut.
Tightening torque
Propeller shaft bolt: 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Center support nut: 55 N·m (5.5 kgf-m, 40.0 lb-ft)
Propeller Shaft InspectionS6RW0D3406003
1) Check propeller shaft joints for wear, play and
damage. If any defect is found, replace.
2) Check propeller shaft center support for biting of
foreign matter, crack, abnormal noise and damage. If
any defect is found, replace.
